We are often asked ‘how can I get involved in the film industry?’ or ‘how can I make money in the film industry’ well, this one little girl is making six figures via YouTube showing that you don’t need a talent agent, manager, and a big contract deal to make money in the entertainment industry.
According to a report by AdAge, this 8-year-old girl makes $127,000 a month making baking videos for YouTube. The top earner in the food and cooking genre is a channel called CharlisCraftyKitchen, which features videos of an 8-year-old named Charli sharing baking tips.
According to Outrigger’s estimates, Charli’s channel generates an average of $127,777 in ad revenue per month. That’s taking into account YouTube’s cut of revenue. The channel gets an average of 29 million views each month — in March, it had 29,133,270.
Charlie began making videos in 2012, when she was 6 years old. Her 5-year-old sister, Ashlee, also plays a role as her chief taste tester. The girls have made tutorials for nearly everything including Minnie Mouse Oreo pops to jello popsicles inspired by Frozen.
